assembled there from all parts of the
country yesterday. Twelve thousand
two hundred people We're admitted on
tickets at the main entrance. Besides
these there were the tent-holderS and
those who came by boat, and those, too,
who sneaked in without tickets, of
whom there were not a few. Sam Jones
preached the morning sermon, and long
before 1920 the vast area of the pavilion
was crowded to overlooking. The
speaker was at his best, and for one
hour and fifteen minutes held the atten-
ton of that immense audience, fire.
Quently exciting applause by his brill
liant sallies of wit. His text was, What
] have written l have written"
There are three things l had to do
with yesterday, to-day and, always, con-
science, my record and God. Where is
the man that has not at some time felt
the pangs of an outraged conscience?
Every man has his record, and that
record is as much part of him as his
hand or foot. Your record, the life you
have lived. the sins you have committed.

day. With conscience on ire ana my
record against me, how can l meet the
Judgment of God?- Let me say that if
you have Il law on your statute books
that isn't enforced, you've already got
anarchy Setup in your midst. L don't
wonder that your Sunday law is not en-
forced when | see debauehed public
press like you have in these two cities.
Why, you haven't got paper i'll those
two cities that wouldn't make fun OF
the hottest things ever said by the Holy
Ghost. The time has come when the
decent people of this country should
march up and say to these editors, we
want your papers run i'll different
way | want it understood now, once
for all, that the papers of st. Paul and
Minneapolis are not supported by the
lewd houses and saloons of those cities.
They talk of Sam Jones and Small'S
running for revenue only. If you cut
off their revenue they will change their
tactics mighty quick. Now all you fell

Nearly all the audience stood up, fol-
lowed by deafening applause. Now
you fellows that are doing this applaud
ing go and do something more. Go to
them editors and tell them what you
want. The Minneapolis Tribune comes
out in an editorial somewhat like this in
this mornings issue: Tomorrow
evening Sam Jones and Sam Small will
pack up their stock of cheStnutS and
leave for greener pastures | believe
you can reform every other paper in
the country except the Tribune. | like
to have these little editors jump On me.

off the dust and don't mind it in the
least. L want you to understand that
here's one fellow that Amt afraid of
every fellow that's got pocketful of
type, an old printing press, a jug of
whisky and sets out to mold public
opinion. They can't say anything
about Sam Jones that they haven't said,
and when they say anything now about

This same book that condemns you in
Minnesota will condemn you in heaven.
'What have written / have written"
and the day you stepped into account
ability you began to write your record :;
the record that will condemn or save
you. Written testimony says Green
leaf, is better than oral testimony
and if man born of woman
can make an engine that can keep rec
ord of the distance travelled by it, how
God will make man write a record of
his lie. And when you're teStifying
before Him you'll stick TO the written
record. How do pity that poor woman
whose husband lights cigar and pulls
out every evening after supper
and leaves her singing to
her baby: ''By a-Baby Bunt-

WRAPS A GIRL UP
In his arms, and then when the girl
asks him why he doesn't go on, he says
why, this is as far as I've ever gone. -
If there's any woman here that hasn't
enough real modesty to hear this talk
she can get right out. We have too
much mock modesty in this country.
You go off and say Sam Jones is vulgar
and immodeSt-Tve got ncontempt
never intended woman to be
nude as to neck and shoulders or he
would have put some hair there. If
could take the record of some of you
church members and paste it up before
this crowd, you'd leave this state never
to return. If you've got the instincts of
a gentleman. what worse thing could
God do than to pull out your record and
read it before a cOngregated world?
Your record is as true. as sacred as this
book. God wouldn't suffer even your
mother to touch it. Men talk one way
and write on the tablets of their hearts
in another; but God puts it down just
as it happens, you can't deceive Him.
Brethren, you'd better get in shape so
that you can step out before God with a
clear conscience and record that God
and angels need not be ashamed of.
SAM SMALL HEARD FROM.
The afternoon services were under the
charge of the w. G. Il. U. ''When Mr..
Small was invited" said W. C. Il. U.

give his experience. and then for
him to talk so. Well, Pm disap-
pointed, that's fact" After
members of the w. G. r. Il. MI.
Small stepped forward and delivered
by far the most eloquent speech heard
this season at Red Rock. He first
called the attention of the audience to
the following verses:
Habakkuk H., Is: ''Wo unto him that
giveth his neighbor drink, that putteth
the bottle to him. and maketh him
drunken also, that thou mayest look on
their nakedness."
Philippians H., 4: .Look not every
man on his own things, but every man
also on the things of Others"

from them to whom it is due when IL is
